Into Thin Air, Chapter one

In the middle

In chapter one it gives the reader a brief look into the future when we learn Jon and how he had beat Everest. Then it goes into how he had struggled his whole life and how he got to the point he is currently at and how he beat his childhood dream. Jon goes off to describe how hard it was on his body, he tells us stuff like how cold he was, how he hasn't slept in three days and how his meal first and last meal was at base camp 3days ago and all he had was a bowl of Ramanan noodles.


Shortly after talking about his struggles he goes on a tangent/reflection. While he's at the top of the world he dreams out loud about all the questions he thinks people are going to ask. However when he comes background he sifts his thought to getting down Everest and he sees he's in over his head. He sees that there's a storm coming and the lack of oxygen he has left in his tank. But shortly after he finds his way down the Hillary step he's home free.
